Taspine is an alkaloid found in the latex of certain trees belonging to the family of Euphorbiaceae, commonly called “Sangre de Drago” (Dragon's blood). Its structure and antineoplastic properties are well known. Here we report the totalsynthesis of taspine, starting from ferulic acid and isovanillin. The successful synthetic strategy was then applied to the synthesis of a symmetricalanalogue TAS2C
Taspine 是一种生物碱,存在于大戟科某些树木的乳胶中,通常称为“Sangre de Drago”(龙血)。其结构和抗肿瘤特性是众所周知的。在这里,我们报告了从阿魏酸和异香草醛开始的 taspine 的全合成。然后将成功的合成策略应用于对称类似物 TAS2C 的合成。两种合成的化合物均通过 ESI-MS(电喷雾电离质谱)测试其结合不同四链体和双链体 DNA 结构的能力。
